niki Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 How wonderful! This is the variant I was looking most forward to and, lo and behold!, it gets released first... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Antoine Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Pure marketing strategy, as it will certainly be the less interesting variant for most people. Gives it a chance to be sold before the release of the land-based Magister. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homebee Posted June 17, 2015 Author Share Posted June 17, 2015 (edited) All the parts for a CM.170R land-based variant are in the sprues pics... So it's just a matter of appropriate decals. V.P. Edited June 17, 2015 by Homebee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niki Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Pure marketing strategy, as it will certainly be the less interesting variant for most people. My word. Anyway, without knowing, the manufacturer actually did me (and maybe others) a favor this time 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antoine Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Don't get me wrong, I'll get it nevertheless! It'll give me the chance to have one in Aéronavale markings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truro Model Builder Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 (edited) I have the very nice Max Decals sheet at home, and as all the parts for a Maggez* are in the Zephyr, I may not wait for the 'official' CM.170. *Look, if we can call the Miles Magister the Maggie I don't see why the Fouga Magister can't be called the Maggez!

Julien Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 The Hannants RRP is only £11.99 for this. Good value when the Airfix repop is £10.99 and the valom kits are £19.99 Julien Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julien Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 My Zephyr arrived yesterday. For the price this kit is excellent value for money. My only worry now is that if the Magister is as good as this my wallet will go into hiding !! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wez Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 Looking at the sprues for the Zephyr and the unused parts I'm convinced the parts are there for a Magister - does anyone else who's got the kit agree? Wez Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wez Hi Wez, I agree that both kits seems to share same plastics. Looks as an excellent kit in sprues. Excellent level of detailing and also accurate (except maybe air intakes?)

I like the Magister but I can't say I'm well versed in all of its subtleties Wez Yes I believe that both Magister and Zephyr shares the same plastics. They include double noses and tail cones as well as canopies etc. About the intake: If you look them from front I think that they taper to fast looking more like "C" than "U". But it seems for me that the prototypes/pre-production planes might have had different shape there. Maybe someone knowing the plane better might comment?

Wez Good afternoon Wez First of all I am not an expert regarding the Zephyr or Magister but I think that all the parts for a Magister are in the box of the Zeghyr and I remember reading here on Brittmodeller that someone from SH wrote that the parts for the Magister were in the box ..
